effective banking union in europe. we continue to believe that it should be initiated as soon as possible in order to protect the vicious circle between banks and sovereigns. we're not naive and we know it will take time. but the first step of european common supervision is to initiate and institute rapidly. this will require the euro leaders to deliver on their june 29 commitments. they had a european council at that time and they made the commitments. it was a rather short communique for those who ride communicate a feature not those -- communique afficionados. a new entity will supervise european banks and the ability for the stability mechanism to capitalize without going through .he sovereigns coul we have also called consistently for the other needed actions were recorded action is needed on the part of the european players. implementation of the european fire wall, that was finally decided on march 29 -- march 30, as i recall. it has taken all the time to make sure that it is in place and it is not yet in place.

there are international factors, including the situation in europe. there are factors are rising from still-impaired credit markets, and so on. we looked at that. we looked at the economy from the perspective of how quickly it has been growing over the last six months to a year. as i talked about in a speech in march, in order for employment gains to be sustained, for unemployment to fall, the economy needs to grow at or above current levels. lately, it has not been at where trying to take steps to ensure stronger growth and we hope it will bring unemployment down over time. the uncertainty about the fiscal click is one of the headwinds, but we are sure their brothers. we do not try to differentiate. if the fiscal cliff does occur, my hope it will not, but we get the kind of impact the congressional budget office is talking about, i do not think i have the tools to offset that. we would have to rethink at that point. we have taken the steps we have taken now because we would like to see the economy get more momentum. >> i'm with the associated press.

what is happening to europe today i think is a cautionary example. when a sovereign debt crisis hits, it can strike overnight. when it hits the united states, the fed will probably respond by either raising interest rates and/or monetizing the debt. that is going to create the groundwork for a period of low growth and a plunging dollar. if that happens and it is not just possible in my view if we do not make policy changes, it is probable, such a state of affairs could peril the u.s. dollar as the world's reserve currency. that will increase instability in international markets, dampen global growth, and constrain the ability of our government to pursue an independent monetary and fiscal policy. more generally, i think our fiscal debt crisis runs the risk of undermining our leadership abroad. there will be increasing and understandable calls for us to reduce our expenditures on defense and diplomacy which will constrain our ability to be able to respond to a world where threats and opportunities abound. as we can see from the tragic events in egypt a
